LG Ice Maker: No Ice, Thin Ice or Frozen Blocks?

LG Refrigerator Fridge and Freezer Both Too Warm

LG Refrigerator Runs Constantly? Causes & Fix
An LG Linear Compressor is built to run almost continuously, so constant running is only a fault if temperatures rise or it's stuck at full speed. Real causes are dirty condenser coils, a leaking door seal, a defrost fault, a hot location, or low refrigerant.

Help! LG Refrigerator Burning Smell
Most likely: the compressor start relay has burned out — a small part plugged onto the linear compressor's terminals at the rear-bottom, it arcs and overheats when it fails, throwing a strong acrid electrical smell and a tell-tale click-pause-click as it keeps trying to start. The character of the…

Fix LG Refrigerator Doors Misaligned
Most likely: the refrigerator itself is no longer level, because a French Door design hangs its two doors on gravity, and a floor that has settled even an eighth of an inch lets one door drop below the other. Overloaded door shelves and worn hinge bushings are the next suspects. The good news is…

Help! LG Refrigerator Light Not Working
Most likely: an LED module has burned out — even though LEDs are rated for 50,000-plus hours, the little driver circuit that powers them fails earlier from heat and voltage stress, and the module (LED, driver, and housing together) replaces as one non-serviceable unit. If a whole compartment goes…

LG Refrigerator Running Constantly? Causes & Fix
Most likely it is normal: LG's variable-speed Linear Compressor runs almost continuously at low speed by design, so "it never shuts off" is often fine as long as it holds 37°F and 0°F. It is a real fault only when temperatures rise, the compressor stays loud, or the bill jumps — then look at dirty coils, a door-seal leak, defrost, or low refrigerant.

LG Refrigerator Not Reaching Temperature: Causes
Most likely: frost has built up on the evaporator because the defrost system failed, blocking airflow so the LG never reaches temperature and the compressor runs on and on. Dirty condenser coils or a tiring Linear Compressor are the next suspects — check for Er dH and Er CO codes…

LG Refrigerator Freezer Too Cold: Causes & Fix

LG Refrigerator Freezing Food: Causes and Fixes
